Granted: 2001-05-03
Abstract: An article including a panel-like structure constructed to be mounted in an automobile vehicle to form a part of the interior thereof, and a process for making the same. According to this process, an outer layer defining at least a portion of the exposed exterior surface of the structure is prepared by applying a water-dispersed thermoplastic polyurethane composition and a heat-activated reactive crosslinking monomer onto a mold surface and thereafter drying the composition. Next, a rapidly reacting composition is sprayed onto an inner surface of the outer layer while the outer layer is retained on the mold surface to form a polyurethane elastomer inner layer that is interfacially chemical bonded to the outer layer. The inner layer with the outer layer interfacially chemically bonded thereto is then united with the rigid substrate so that the rigid substrate serves to reinforce the outer layer. The exposed exterior surface of the panel-like structure simulates the appearance and feel of authentic leather, while the inner layer and an optional semi-rigid polyurethane cellular foam intermediate layer provide a compressing feel to the exposed portion of the outer layer.

Title: Fire isolation device
IPC: F16K17/38
Filed: 1989-12-15
Granted: 1992-11-26
Abstract: A fire isolation device having a valve designed to close after a given temperature has been reached by a fusible nose member in the form of a sleeve of fusible material. The device has a passageway therethrough and a self-closing valve member having a poppet and a seat disposed in the passageway with the poppet being biased toward the seat to a valve closed position. At least one aperture through the nose member provides for continuous fluid flow through the device around the poppet and the seat. The nose member is positioned to hold the valve in an open position against the bias on the poppet. The seat has a flow path on its outer end dimensioned to fit the nose member and a flow path towards its inner end larger in diameter than the nose member in an area occupied by the aperture to permit flow therethrough when the nose member holds the valve in an open position. The nose member is made of a material designed to melt in the neighborhood of 700 DEG  F. when the fire isolation device is exposed to 2000 DEG  F. for 15 minutes, for example, after which it will collapse into the larger diameter permitting the bias to close the valve. The nosse member is designed to melt prior to an attached component in order to prevent fluid leakage at the component. The remainder of the parts of the device are made of a higher temperature resistant material. In a second embodiment a bi-directional device is provided in which valve and nose members are positioned in both ends thereof.

Title: Ophthalmic glass/plastic laminated lens having photochromic characteristics and method of assembly thereof
Inventor: ACE RONALD S
IPC: G02C7/02
Filed: 1985-10-22
Granted: 1988-12-15
Abstract: A composite glass/plastic ophthalmic lens consists of a thin layer (40) of glass, preferably photochromic, adhered to the front of a plastic layer (30), by a highly elastic adhesive (36). The rear surface (42) of the glass (40) has a different radius than the front surface (32) of the plastic (30) so that the space between the lenses forms a tapered gap which is filled by the elastic adhesive. The edge thickness of the elastic adhesive is sufficient to insure that the increase in diameter of the plastic layer with respect to the diameter of the glass layer due to differences in the thermal expansion characteristic of the glass and the plastic will not damage the lens even over a temperature range > 300°F (170°C).The glass layer (40) is shaped to have a power which compensates for differences in the index of refraction of the glass (40), adhesive (36) and plastic layer (30), and which compensates for the optical powers produced by the tapered adhesive layer, so that the composite lens can be finished to prescription as though it were an all-plastic lens.

IPC: C12N15/19
Filed: 1994-04-04
Granted: 1998-08-20
Abstract: Recombinant vectors are provided that render the proliferative response of activated lymphocytes, particularly cytotoxic T lymphocytes, of lessened dependency on T helper cells. The vectors are comprised of a region encoding a stimulatory factor polypeptide operably linked to a heterologous transcriptional control region. Expression of the stimulatory factor polypeptide from the recombinant polynucleotide in an activated lymphocyte renders the proliferative response of less dependent on lymphocyte T helper cells. When the lymphocyte is activated by binding of its cognate antigen the transcriptional control region causes transcription of the stimulatory factor encoding region. The cells containing the vector, particularly CTLs, are of use in immunotherapy.

Patent AU-637293-B2 (AU)
Title: Buffer system for the temporary storage of flat objects such as letters, and buffer for use in said buffer system
IPC: G06V30/10
Filed: 1990-11-15
Granted: 1993-05-20
Abstract: The invention comprises a buffer system and a buffer (20) applied in it. The buffer acts as mechanical RAM and contains a number of storage pockets (28) for the temporary separate storage of flat articles such as letters for postal processing purposes such as, for example, sorting and video coding. Electromechanically the buffer is such that the letters are not released at any point and are subject to shifting as little as possible, and permit a dense packing of the pockets. This is achieved by using a slide/entrainment conveyance system which is formed by elastic clamping between an endless conveyor (54, 72, 77) with a very high coefficient of friction, for example one or more elastic cords running in parallel and a sliding surface (60, 73, 75) having a very low coefficient of friction both in the sections (21 and 22) of conveyance past the pockets and in the pockets (28). In the pockets, said sliding/entrainment conveyance system is constructed as a separately controllable letter catchment, retainment and ejection device. Each two successive buffer pockets have a partition in common provided with the endless conveyor (54) of one of the said two pockets and the sliding surface (60) of the other of the said two pockets. The buffer system comprises a number of such buffers (20) with or without distributed control. The buffers (20) are situated along a branching feed section (1, 23) in which a gate (20, 26) is sited at every buffer branching point and every connecting point. First process signal connections (6) via which so-called letter logging signals (BBS) are concomitantly transmitted for every letter conveyed along the feed section (1, 23) run in parallel with the branched feed section. Appended to each of said gates (25, 26) is a gate control (91, 38) which determines on the basis of the letter logging signals (BBS) and, for example, the number of free pockets (#-VAKKEN) in each of two gate directions in which direction the letter with its associated letter logging signals (BBS) is sent. Said letter logging signals comprise in all cases a letter identification code (BIC) assigned to the letter by an application control (5) when the letter is fed into the system. The application control continuously makes a selection of letters, which are eligible for discharge from the system, from the instantaneously stored letters on the basis of certain letter features which are derived from the letters to be fed in at the system entrance. Data of the selected letters, including time indications (TI) of when the letters have to pass a defined ejection point (X) in the system exit are transmitted via second process signal connections (9) to the control (38) of each of the buffers (20). Such a buffer system can readily be equipped either as a sorting system or as a video coding system.

Granted: 2000-05-25
Abstract: A system and method for the selection and retrieval of various types of video data from distributed delivery sites calls for the deployment of "Smart Mirror" sites throughout a network, each of which maintains a copy of certain data managed by the system. Each "Smart Mirror" site maintains copies of the data in several alternative file formats. Every user is assigned to a specific delivery site based on an analysis of network performance with respect to each of the available delivery sites. Generalized network performance data is collected and stored to facilitate the selection of additional delivery sites and to ensure the preservation of improved performance in comparison to traditional networks. The appropriate file format is automatically selected based on the capabilities of a user terminal making a request for data.
